CHAPTER 57

“HAS HE SEEN YOUR face yet, Mo? ” Reece asked across the team room’s dinner table.

The food here was exceptional, just like he remembered from his time attached to the Agency in Iraq. And they always had honey for his coffee.

“Not yet. I think we’ll give it another day or so before I try to talk to him. The longer he goes without human interaction, the better. The cold and lack of sleep will break him. The isolation only helps exacerbate it. ”

“Mo, it always kills me that you have a better command of the English language than I do. ” Reece smiled. “And that British accent of yours makes you sound like an Oxford professor. ”

“You love to play the surfer boy, Reece, but I know better. I remember the stack of books in your room in Baghdad. No one has brought that much reading material to war since Churchill, ” Mo observed.

“Just trying to learn as much as I could about counterinsurgency and your country’s history and culture. If you think I read a lot, you should see Freddy’s book stack. ”

“I just look at the pictures, ” Freddy interjected.

Mo turned the conversation back to the issue at hand. “So, what do you want me to find out from Landry? He’s almost ready to break. ”

“The big question is, who is he working for and why, but more who than why, if that makes sense, ” Freddy responded.

“And how many other agents and teams he’s running, ” Reece chimed in. “We know he was handling at least two parallel teams: yours and the STU from your old unit who hit us in North Africa. If he was also behind the Christmas market attack in London, that would bring us up to three at a minimum. There could very well be more we don’t know about. ”

Mo scribbled some notes in a small spiral-bound book.

Reece leaned forward, his mind working the problem. “And we need to know how he knew to attack us in XXXXXX. No one outside of the Agency should have had that info. It’s not like we got hit by some local militia group who found out there were some random Americans living down the road. That team was brought in specifically to target us. We’ve obviously got ourselves a leak and, Mo, your future depends on us finding out where that leak is. ”
